Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to blocked polyisocyanates containing isocyanurate groups derived from bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, a process for the preparation of such blocked polyisocyanates and the uses thereof.
- Masked or blocked isocyanates have been used extensively as cross-linking agents in aqueous and solvent based coating compositions and are used particularly in two-component polyurethane coatings. Blocked polyisocyanates containing isocyanurate rings are currently used in powder coating applications and solution based applications for producing high performance films and coatings. The use of isocyanurates based on cyclic aliphatic isocyanates, such as hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is limited due to the low Tg of such products. Products based on isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) is similarly limited as IPDI based products while having good hardness generally have poor impact resistance (flexibility).
- Therefore, there continues to be a need for new blocked polyisocyanates that have a good Tg appropriate for powder coating applications, which can be used in solvent-based applications and that give coating with good balance of hardness and flexibility.
- The present invention provides a thermally dissociative blocked polyisocyanate composition containing isocyanurate moieties wherein the isocyanurate is the reactions product of bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane wherein the bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane is a mixture comprising two or more of cis-1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, trans-1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, cis-1,4-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane and trans-1,4-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane with the proviso the composition comprises at least 5 weight percent of the 1,4-isomer.
- In another embodiment, the invention is to a coating composition comprising (a) a blocked isocyanurate composition as given above and (b) a polyhydroxyl compound. Such composition can be used in formulations for conventional powder coating or solvent based coating applications.
- The invention further provides a method of producing a blocked isocyanurate composition comprising reaction of a polyisocyanate with a thermally dissociative blocking agent at an isocyanate to isocyanate reactive group on the blocking agent ratio to block less than 40 percent of the isocyanate groups and than cyclizing the polyisocyanate in the presence of a trimerization catalyst, deactivating the trimerization catalyst when the desired degree of cyclization is reached, wherein the isocyanurate is derived from two or more of cis-1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, trans-1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, cis-1,4-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane and trans-1,4-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane with the proviso the composition comprises at least 5 weight percent of the 1,4-isomer.
- The blocked isocyanates compositions containing isocyanurates of the present invention are prepared from bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane. Preferably the isocyanate comprises two or more of cis-1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, trans-1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, cis-1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane and trans-1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, with the proviso said isomeric mixture comprises at least about 5 weight percent of the 1,4-isomer. In a preferred embodiment, the composition contains a mixture of 1,3- and 1,4-isomers. The preferred cycloaliphatic diisocyanates are represented by the following structural Formulas I through IV:
- These cycloaliphatic diisocyanates may be used in admixture as manufactured from, for example, the Diels-Alder reaction of butadiene and acrylonitrile, subsequent hydroformylation, then reductive amination to form the amine, that is, cis-1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, trans-1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, cis-1,4-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane and trans-1,4-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, followed by reaction with phosgene to form the cycloaliphatic diisocyanate mixture. The preparation of the bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,252,121.
- In one embodiment, the isocyanurate blocked isocyanate composition is mixed with blocked cycloaliphatic diisocyanates monomers mentioned above. Preferably the blocked polyisocyanate mixture contains at least 20 wt percent of the isocyanurate blocked isocyanate composition and more preferably at least 30 wt percent of the isocyanurate blocked isocyanate composition.
- In one embodiment, the isocyanurate isocyanate composition is derived from a mixture containing from 5 to 90 wt percent of the 1,4-isomers. Preferably the isomeric mixture comprises 10 to 80 wt percent of the 1,4-isomers. More preferably at least 20, most preferably at least 30 and even more preferably at least 40 weight percent of the 1,4-isomers.

Blocked monomers of these isocyanate may also be added to the composition.
- Due to the defined isomer ratios, the isocyanurate polyisocyanates of the present invention have advantageous properties, such as high reactivity. In additions, coatings prepared from such isocyanurate polyisocyanates exhibit improved Vickers hardness to Gardner impact ratios giving a coating with a good hardness to flexibility balance as compared to conventional aliphatic isocyanates.
- The blocking agents for use in the present invention generally contain an active hydrogen, (hydrogen attached to oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen) which will react with the diisocyanates and the product is reversible, that is deblocks, thermally. Representative blocking agents are derivatives selected from oximes, lactams, phenols, active methylenes, pyrazoles, mercaptans, imidazoles, amines, imines, triazoles, hydroxyl amines, and aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic alkyl monoalcohols.

- Preferred blocking agents for use in the present invention are oximes, phenols, caprolactam, imidazoles and active methylene compounds.
- For the preparation of the isocyanurate group-containing polyisocyanates, the organic diisocyanates are cyclized in the presence of the trimerization catalyst and, if desired, in the presence of solvents and/or assistants, such as co-catalysts, expediently at elevated temperature, until the desired isocyanate (NCO) content has been reached. The reaction is then terminated by deactivating the catalyst. If desired, the excess monomeric diisocyanate is separated off, preferably by distillation with the aid of a thin-film evaporator. Depending on the type and amount of catalyst used and on the reaction conditions used, isocyanurate group-containing polyisocyanate mixtures are obtained which can have different content of isocyanurate groups or oligomeric isocyanates. As used herein, the term trimer will generally refer to molecules containing one or more isocyanurate ring structures. For purposes of this invention, an isocyanate containing one isocyanurate ring structure is referred to herein as IR1. Molecules containing two isocyanurate ring structures are referred to herein as IR2. As a general class, unless otherwise noted, compounds containing 2 or more isocyanurate rings based on the polyisocyanates of the present invention are referred to as oligomeric trimers.
- Examples of suitable trimerization catalyst are tertiary amines, phosphines, alkoxides, metal oxides, hydroxides, carboxylates and organometallic compounds. Examples of trimerization catalysts which have proven highly successful are tetraalkylammonium hydroxide, tris-(N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl)-s-hexahydrotriazines and organic salts of weak acids containing tetraalkylammonium groups or hydroxyalkylammonium groups, for example tris-(N,N-dimethylaminopropyl)-s-hexahydrotriazine, trimethyl-N-w-hyroxypropylammonium 2-ethylhexanoate and N,N-dimethyl-N-hydroxyethyl-N-2-hydroxypropylammonium hexanoate. Due to the their simple preparation and purification, preferred trimerization catalysts are trialkylhydroxyalkylammonium salts, for example N,N,N-trimethyl-N-2-hydroxypropylammonium p-tert-butylbenzoate and in particular N,N,N-trimethyl-N-2-hydroxypropylammonium 2-ethylhexanoate. Trimerization catalysts, which can also cause the formation of uretedione groups and oligomeric isocyanurate groups as byproducts, are usually used in an amount of from 0.001 to 0.5 percent by weight, preferably from 0.005 to 0.1 percent by weight, based on the weight of the diisocyanate. The trimer may also be produced by the use of a heterogeneous catalyst.
- Alternatively, the isocyanurate trimer may be prepared by trimerization with a heterogeneous catalyst, see for example WO 93/18014 Proper control of the solid support and the active groups on the catalyst can result in the formation of an oligomeric mixture of isocyanurate trimers with very narrow polydispersity, that is, a product containing less than 50 percent IR1 and more than 25 percent of IR2, preferably less than 40 percent IR1 and more than 30 percent IR2. This type of distribution provides high average molecular weight products with low viscosity.
- After the desired amount of isocyanurate groups has formed, which can be determined analytically by determination of the of the NCO content of the reaction mixture, the trimerization catalyst is usually deactivated. Examples of suitable deactivators are inorganic and organic acids, the corresponding acid-halides and alkylating agents. Specific examples of deactivators include phosphoric acid, monochloroacetic acid, dodecylbenzene/sulfonic acid, benzoyl chloride, dimethyl sulfate and dibutyl phosphate. The deactivators can be employed in amount from 1 to 200 mole percent, preferably from 20 to 100 mole percent, based on the amount of trimerization catalyst. The catalyst can also be deactivated by thermolysis. Typical thermal deactivation temperatures are greater than 130° C. and lower than the decomposition temperatures of the isocyanate, generally less than 200° C.
- For the preparation of the isocyanurate, the organic diisocyanate are partially cyclized at from 30 to 120° C., preferably at from 60 to 110° C., in the presence of the trimerization catalysts, advantageously under an atmosphere of gases which are inert under the reaction conditions, for example nitrogen. Generally the cyclized reaction is carried out to leave a monomer content of less than 80 percent. Preferably the reaction is carried out to give a monomer content of less than 70 percent. Generally at high conversions the amount of monomer remaining in the reaction mixture is between 20 and 40 percent. More preferably the reaction is carried out to give a final monomer content of less than 65 percent. The desired NCO content of the reaction mixture (that is, trimer and unreacted monomer) is generally from 20 to 40 percent by weight. Preferably the desired NCO content of the reaction mixture is from 22 to 38 percent by weight and more preferably from 23 to 35 percent by weight. After the desired NCO content is reached, the trimerization catalyst is deactivated and the isocyanurate formation is thus ended. After removal of the unreacted monomer, the NCO content of the trimer and trimer oligomers (IR1, IR2, and higher oligomers) is generally from 12 to 30 percent by weight and more preferably from 15 to 21 percent by weight of the isocyanurate polyisocyanate.
- The reaction product will contain monomeric species, for example, isocyanurates having a single ring structure, as well as oligomeric species, for example, isocyanurates having two or more ring structures. Preferably IR1 is present in the composition from 20 to 80 percent by weight of the composition. More preferably the IR1 content is from 25 to 70 percent by weight of the composition. Most preferably the IR1 content is from 25 to 65 percent by weight of the composition. In some applications, it may be desired that the IR1 content is from 30 to 60 percent by weight of the composition. Generally the composition will contain from 5 to 40 percent by weight of IR2. It is not necessary for the IR1 and IR2 components to be 100 percent of the composition as higher oligomers may also be present.
- It is generally preferred to produce an oligomeric mixture of the aliphatic isocyanate trimer (isocyanurate) with an average functionality greater than 3.0. The average functionality of the trimer is controlled by the degree of conversions of the monomer and the choice of catalyst. The functionality of the final composition may be decreased by the addition of blocked monomer as described herein.
- For the present invention, different polyisocyanates may be mixed prior to the trimerization step, or trimers and higher oligomers of the individual isomers may be formed and then blended together. For example, trimers and higher oligomers of the 1,3- and 1,4-isomers of bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane may be separately produced and the products mixed, or the 1,3- and 1,4-isomers can be present together before the trimerization step. In a similar manner, the isocyanurate polyisocyanates containing multifunctional isocyanates other than bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane can be produced by having the other multifunctional isocyanates present prior to trimerization or produced separately and blended in with the isocyanurate polyisocyanates produced from the bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane isomers. It is generally preferred to produce isocyanurate polyisocyanates from the 1,3- and 1,4-isomers when both isomers are present in the initial reaction mixture. It is also preferred that any other multifunctional isocyanates be present prior to the start of or during the trimerization reaction.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferred to use as the starting polyisocyanate a mixture of 1,3- and 1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane monomers with an additional cyclic or alicyclic isocyanate. In one embodiment, the 1,3- and 1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane monomer are used in combination with 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) or a mixture thereof. When HDI and/or IPDI is used as an additional polyfunctional isocyanate in addition to the bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, HDI and/or IPDI is added in an amount of up to about 50 percent by weight of the total polyfunctional isocyanate. Preferably HDI and/or IPDI is added to comprises up to about 40 percent by weight of the total polyfunctional isocyanate. More preferably, HDI and/or IPDI is added to comprise up to about 30 percent by weight of the total polyfunctional isocyanate.
- The production of the isocyanurate polyisocyanates of the present invention is preferably done in the absence of a solvent. If desired, a solvent may be used which is inert toward the respective starting materials. Preference is given to using organic solvents such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, 2-butanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, xylene, methyoxyethyl acetate, methoxypropyl acetate, ethyl-3-ethoxy propionate, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide or solvent naphtha.
- The polyisocyanate containing isocyanurate groups is reacted with a stoichiometric quantity of blocking agent, that is, one mole of NCO per mole of NCO reactive group on the blocking agent, at temperatures of from 100 to 200° C., preferably from 120 to 160° C. Preferably the blocking agent is added at a slight stoichiometric excess, for example 1.1:1. The reaction proceeds exothermally. The conversion rate of the addition reaction may be increased by the addition of a suitable catalyst. Preferably, prior to the blocking step, residual monomer is removed from the isocyanurate composition.
- The reaction between the isocyanate the blocking agent can be done in the presence of a solvent. Any light liquid organic substance may be used as the reaction medium (solvent) provided the substance has no functionality capable of reacting with an isocyanate group. Examples of such organic reaction medium liquids include those listed above as a potential solvent for the formation of the isocyanurate composition. The solvent is generally added to decrease the viscosity of the isocyanurate composition, generally less than 30 wt percent. The addition of a solvent generally enhances the kinetics of the blocking step.
- It is also possible to prepare the blocked polyisocyanate containing isocyanurate groups by carrying out the trimerisation reaction and the blocking reaction simultaneously.
- It is also possible to prepare the blocked polyisocyanate containing isocyanurate groups by partially blocking the monomer and subsequently trimerizing the remaining free isocyanate group. An intermediate partially blocked isocyanate reactant is formed by reacting a sufficient quantity of the blocking agent with the organic diisocyanate to block less than 50 percent of the isocyanate groups, and more preferably, less than 40 percent of the isocyanate groups. The extent of isocyanate blocking may be determined by isocyanate group titration. As the isocyanate moieties of the 1,3- and 1,4-isomers of bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane have similar reactivity, the final product will contain a distribution of molecules where all the isocyanate groups are blocked, molecules where no isocyanate groups are blocked and molecules where are a fraction of the isocyanate groups are blocked.
- After forming the above partially blocked organic diisocyanate intermediate, the intermediate is trimerized to form a polyisocyanate comprising of a mixture of isocyanurate blocked polyisocyanates and blocked monomer.
- The thermally dissociative blocked polyisocyanates of the present invention can be used as crosslinking or hardening component of coating composition which will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The coating compositions further constitute, in addition to the blocked polyisocyanate, at least one polyhydroxy compound having at least two bound hydroxyl groups.
- Examples of polyhydroxy compounds for use in coating composition include aliphatic hydrocarbon polyols, polyether polyols, polyester polyols, epoxy resins, fluoropolyols, and acrylic polyols. Preferably aliphatic polyester and acrylic polyols are used.
- Examples of the aliphatic hydrocarbon polyols include a polybutadiene containing a terminal hydroxyl group and a hydrogenated product thereof. Examples of the polyether polyols include polyether polyols obtainable by addition-reacting alkylene oxides such as ethylene oxide and propylene oxide singly or as a mixture thereof with polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin and propylene glycol singly or as a mixture thereof, polytetramethylene glycols, polyether polyols obtainable by reacting alkylene oxides with polyfunctional compounds such as ethylenediamine and ethanolamine, and so-called polymer polyols obtainable by polymerizing acrylamide, etc. using these polyethers as media.

- The epoxy resins include, for example, those of novolak type, beta-methylepichlorohydrin type, cyclic oxirane type, glycidyl ether type, glycol ether type, epoxy type of aliphatic unsaturated compound, epoxidated fatty acid ester type, polycarboxylic acid ester type, aminoglycidyl type, halogenated type and resorcin type, and the modified resins of these epoxy resins with amino compounds, polyamide compounds, etc.
- The fluoropolyols include, for example, copolymers of fluoroolefins and any of cyclohexylvinyl ether, hydroxyalkylvinyl ethers, and vinyl esters of monocarboxylic acids.
- The acrylic polyols include, for example, those which are obtainable by copolymerizing polymerizable acrylic monomers having one or more active hydrogens in one molecule with other monomers copolymerizable therewith. Examples of the acrylic monomers having one or more active hydrogens in one molecule include a single one or mixed monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid esters having active hydrogen such as 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, and 2-hydroxybutyl acrylate, methacrylic acid esters having active hydrogen such as 2-hydroxydimethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, and 2-hydroxybutyl methacrylate, and (meth)acrylic acid esters having polyvalent active hydrogen such as acrylic acid monoesters or methacrylic acid monoesters of glycerin and acrylic acid monoesters or methacrylic acid monoesters of trimethylolpropane. Examples of the other monomers copolymerizable with said monomers include acrylic acid esters such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and methacrylic acid esters such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, isopropyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, n-hexyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate, etc. If necessary, a single one or a mixture of other polymerizable monomers, for example, unsaturated carboxylic acids such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid and itaconic acid, unsaturated amides such as acrylamide, N-methylolacrylamide and diacetoneacrylamide, styrene, vinyltoluene, vinyl acetate, and acrylonitrile, may be additionally used in copolymerization.
- Of these polyols, especially preferred are acrylic polyols and polyester polyols having an equivalent weight from 100 to 5,000, preferably from 250 to 3,000 and more preferably from 500 to 2,000 and a number-average molecular weight of 300 to 40,000, preferably 500 to 30,000. The polyols can have a functionality of 2 to 8 while polyols with a functionality of 2 to 4 are preferred.
- The equivalent ratio of the blocked isocyanate groups in the thermally dissociative blocked polyisocyanate and the hydroxyl groups in the polyhydroxy compound in the coating composition of the present invention is determined depending upon the desired properties of the coating film, and is usually in the range of 0.4:1 to 2:1, preferably in the range of 0.5:1 to 1.5:1; more preferably the range is 1:1 to 1.1:1.
- The coating compositions may also contain other additives such as pigments, dyes, fillers, leveling agents and solvents. The coating composition may be applied to the substrate to be coated in solution or from the melt by conventional methods such as painting, rolling pouring or spraying. For a solvent based system, the solvent can be optionally selected, depending upon the uses and purposes, from hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, cyclohexane, mineral spirits, and naphtha; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone; esters such as ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, and cellosolve acetate; and alcohols such as butanol and isopropyl alcohol. These solvents may be used singly or in combination of at least two types thereof.
- To prevent the coating substances from sticking together if left in storage for some time, they may be treated with a suitable powder. Examples of suitable powders include talcum or finely divided silicates which may also contain organic groups, such as the silicates obtained by hydrolysis of methyl trichlorosilane. Finely dispersed calcium phosphate and aluminum sulphate which may be obtained from the decomposition of higher aluminum alcoholates are also suitable.
- Examples of levelling agents and gloss improvers include polyvinyl butyrals, copolymers of n-butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, ketone-aldehyde condensation resins, solid silicone resins and mixtures of zinc soaps, fatty acid and aromatic carboxylic acids.
- Commercially available sterically-hindered polyfunctional phenols, including high molecular weight phenols of this type, have proved to be suitable for use as heat stabilizers and anti-oxidants.
- In general, to prepare the mixtures according to the present invention, the blocked isocyanate, polyhydroxyl compound and any additives, are vigorously mixed together, preferably using an extruder or a heatable kneader or some other powerful mixing device, for example a double-Z kneader. The individual components are preferably mixed in the molten state at a temperature too low for cross-linking.
- When the mixtures according to the present invention have been homogenized, they are cooled and the solid substance thereby obtained is milled in a commercial mill to be reduced to particles within a maximum range of from 0.01 to 0.05 mm, and, if necessary, particles larger than about 0.09 mm are removed in a screening machine.
- When the mixtures according to the present invention are used according to the present invention for coating substrates, they may be applied by the whirl sintering process, the electrostatic powder coating process or the electrostatic fluidized bed process. The coated substrates are then heated in a stoving oven in which they are exposed to temperatures at which the solid lacquer powder particles melt, coalesce to form a homogeneous film and finally undergo cross-linking with elimination of the masking agent. This means that the coated substrates are generally exposed to temperatures of from 140 to 280° C., preferably from 120 to 180° C. The isocyanate groups liberated under these conditions react with the hydroxyl groups of the polyhydroxyl component to form high quality polyurethane films.
- The thus prepared coating composition can be coated by any customary coating methods such as spray coating, dip coating, roll coating, and electrodeposition coating.
- The coating composition prepared by employing the above-described blocked products or the hardener compositions can be used as topcoats or intercoats of automobiles, chip resistant coatings, coatings for automobile parts, coatings for precoated metals and anticorrosive steel plates of metallic articles such as appliances and business machines, coatings for building materials, coatings for plastics, adhesion imparting agents, sealing agents, and electrodeposition coatings. In addition the compositions containing the blocked isocyanate and polyhydroxyl compound can be used as adhesive, adhesion-imparting agent, sealing agent, etc.
- The coatings containing the blocked isocyanates of the present invention may also be used to produce high quality, impact-resistant, weathering- and solvent-resistant coatings on any heat-resistant substrates, such as metals, glass, ceramics and, if desired, also wood.
- When used in a solvent-based application, the trimer is mixed in a solvent with a suitable acrylic polyol or aliphatic polyester polyol and optional additives. Any aprotic solvent which does react with the crosslinker after deblocking can be used for producing a solvent based coating. Commonly used solvents for solvent-based coatings include diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, 2-butanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, xylene, methyoxyethyl acetate, methoxypropyl acetate, ethyl-3-ethoxy propionate, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide or solvent naphtha. Solvent-based systems generally contain from 40 to 80 percent by weight of the blocked isocyanate and polyhydroxyl compound. These formulations are generally applied to substrates such as metal and plastics. After the removal of the solvent by gradual heating, the blocked isocyanate trimer is deblocked by heat and the trimer immediately reacts with the polyol to form a high molecular weight polymer coating. For coating plastics, to minimize thermal deformation of the plastic, a blocking agent with a lower deblocking temperatures is preferred, for example, 120 to 160° C.
